Hello Rob,

Pali's PR draft https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/pull/64
looks like it's going to take some time to work out.

In the meantime, is it possible to somehow get the
slot-power-limit-milliwatt property merged into pci.txt so that we can start
putting it into existing device-trees?

Or would it break dt_bindings_check if it isn't put into dt-schema's
pci-bus.yaml?

Or should we simply put it into current version of pci-bus.yaml and
work out the split proposed by Pali's PR afterwards?

Marek
